January - Aqua - Snowflakes Deadline Dec 31st

Colour - Aqua - Item - Snowflakes

Hoping to get this up and running very soon now!!!

From Dawn......


Dawn is making a 12 x 12 spiral bound calendar!!

And now from Neil......

After thinking about the style of calendar I wanted to do for this years challenge, I decided that I would use Tando
Creative's Media Boards as my monthly base.
So, this is January's offering: a somewhat different approach to Aqua and Snowflakes!



The first panel in place; the other spaces are marked out ready for each month to follow with all the gaps covered
with Tim Holtz tissue tape.



The finished January piece.



Cover a media board with Faux Finishing Medium and add some crumpled tissue.  Dry with a heat gun; trim the edges.



Stamp the image onto the board with black Archival Ink.



Colour the background with Aqua paint and dry.



Drybrush white paint to highlight the textures.



Use Distress Markers to colour the robot and blend with water.



Splash some diluted white paint over the board and dry thoroughly.  Add a sprinkle of Frantage embossing powder
to create a little "flurry" of snow.  Edge the board with Archival Ink.  Add dots of white Enamel Accents and Stickles to
create more snowflakes to finish.

And from Pauline......

OK folks Calendar Challenge due to go live on Sunday morning!!!! Fingers crossed!!

I'm sure you'll be fine

Just a quick question. I thought the first word was the colour we had to use and the second was the object that had to appear? But in one of the replies to a question this morning they were told that both words had to be used? I'm confused..... could someone clarify please?
